When I was a kid I thought JWs were crazy. I remember a foot actually stuck in the door as my mother was trying to close it in the early 60s. The JW missionaries seemed pretty pernicious. In the 70s I worked as a jewelry repair guy in a jewelry store in Gainesville fl and the jeweler was a JW and something strange to my recollections. He and I discussed religion reasonably without any rancor but with intelligent observations and discussion. Later I had missionaries at the door and they were quite different from the ones I had experienced as a child. They had obviously gone to Mormon Missionary School and were much easier to talk to. They were not all young men like the Mormons but they were no longer strident and pushing their pamphlets in your face. I have actually invited both brands of missionary in for coffee (both sets declined the coffee but were okay with pineapple juice)and had interesting discussions with them. Nobody converted anybody but it was worth the time.

If you have cable TV, there won’t be much on to watch.
If there isn’t much on to watch, you will answer your door whenever someone rings.
If you open your door, you will see mormons.
If you talk to mormons, they will trick you into “praying about whether something is true”.
If you rely on your feelings, you may become a mormon.
If you become a mormon, you will have to wear magic underwear!
If you wear magic underwear, people will immediately label you as a cultist.
DON’T be a cultist!
Get DirectTV.
... they were no longer strident and pushing their pamphlets in your face. When your FAILED prophecies come back to haunt you; methods change to avoid them.
Thanks; Al Gore; for inventing the Internet.
